The Browne-Deltoid Retractor is designed to provide controlled retraction and surgical exposure during compatible shoulder and orthopedic procedures. Its different configurations provide varying blade widths and overall lengths, allowing selection according to the required exposure profile.

The Standard and Small Deep configurations feature a 45 mm blade width, while the Large configuration provides a wider 57 mm blade. Overall lengths range from 11.5" (29.2 cm) to 12.25" (31.1 cm).

Design and Configuration

The retractor is available in three configurations:

Standard

The Standard configuration has a 45 mm blade width and an overall length of 11.5" (29.2 cm).

Small Deep

The Small Deep configuration retains the 45 mm blade width while providing an extended overall length of 12.25" (31.1 cm).

Large

The Large configuration provides a wider 57 mm blade with an overall length of 11.5" (29.2 cm).

Blade and Length Options

The available configurations provide different combinations of blade width and overall length:

• Standard: 45 mm blade, 11.5" (29.2 cm) length
• Small Deep: 45 mm blade, 12.25" (31.1 cm) length
• Large: 57 mm blade, 11.5" (29.2 cm) length

This range allows selection according to the desired working reach and blade width.

Orthopedic Applications

The Browne-Deltoid Retractor is designed for compatible applications involving:

• Shoulder surgical exposure
• Deltoid-region tissue retraction
• Controlled orthopedic exposure
• Procedures requiring different blade width configurations

Specific application should be determined according to the applicable surgical technique and procedural requirements.

Handling and Use Considerations

Selection should take into account the required blade width and overall length. The Small Deep configuration provides the longest overall length, while the Large configuration provides the widest blade.

The retractor should be used within its intended mechanical and dimensional capabilities.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

Reusable surgical instruments should be cleaned and processed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and validated healthcare-facility protocols. After cleaning, inspect the blade, working surfaces, alignment, and overall structure for cleanliness, damage, deformation, and proper function.

Sterilization and Inspection

Before reuse, the retractor should undergo the validated cleaning, disinfection, packaging, and sterilization process appropriate for the instrument. Inspect for corrosion, deformation, surface damage, or other signs of impaired function before returning it to service.
